I mean, for heavens' sake....
Fluid in my ears? At MY age?
Geez.
Back to the Doc tomorrow.
*sigh*

Yep, you're going to have to have tubes. I didn't know when they said "second childhood," they meant things like that.

No pain, no fever. I just can't hear.
Every so often I get a crackling noise.
This is one irritating thing.
Bah.
We'll see what the doc says tomorrow.

Crap, having tubes in my ears along with all the toddlers?
How much more embarrassing is my life gonna get?

Well, if you get the tubes you'll have to wear earplugs and a bathing cap whenever you go swimming. Unless you're a competetive swimmer, that could be potentially embarrassing. I remember hating life when I was a kid and had to go to other kids' pool parties and I was the only one there who had to wear one. I really hated that.

I heard a crackling in my ears when I was at sleepaway camp once. Woke up the whole cabin freaking out because I didn't know what was going on. The counselor took me to the nurse's hut and she was looking in my ear and all of a sudden she started laughing and asks, "did the crackling stop?" It had. She showed me: There had been an ant in my ear. I really felt for that kid who made the news with the spider in his ear. I think I would take the ant over the spider though.

It is a learned skill, more difficult for women.
Repeat after me:
"I'm sorry, I can't"
"wow, I wish I could, but no"
"Thanks for asking, but no."

Etc, etc, etc.
You can do it.

I totally understand.
If it rains on a day you planned a picnic you apologize for hours.
I was married to a guy who did that to me, I never was like that before.
I truly understand and feel for you.

no (there's that word)...it's not like that at all. he likes that i never fight with him! and he likes that i do for him and other people...i'm not abused or anything. can we all go to a restaurant and sit and drink coffee and talk like we are supposed to? nothing comes out the way it should typed. i have a great life for the most part. the issues in my head are from childhood demons (not my family either)! all the king's horses and all the king's men could not put my head together again

and i need to go fix me head right now...might be back later. i just didn't realize how long it would take to do all this paperwork i said i would do. my eyes are blurring.

Agreed, I have always wished we all lived close enough to go out for a late-night/early morning breakfast like in college, drink coffee and just talk.
